Back from London, with lovely fabric for my bustle gown. Had a great time shopping on Goldhawk Road in Shepherds Bush, about 15 shops to choose from and must have been in most of them 3 or 4 times before final choice made, which turned out to be quite different from what I had originally planned!
Picture below doesn't really do the colours justice but here is my fabric...
Yes that is a purple hat! Got some antique gloves as well from a very friendly man at Alfie's in Marylebone, who often helps Colleen Atwood source costume items (she designs for most of Tim Burton's films amongst other things...)
Spent today working on my breeches, made 3 covered buttons and so far have hand stitched 3 button holes, 2 to go, so neaarly finished.
Day off tomorrow, so I'm off to Castle Howard, cutting out on Friday.
